CNET is reporting that even Congress is wondering just what the Recording Industry Association of America is thinking. Speaking at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last week, Senator John Sununu (R. N.H) said that "the fundamental problem with the approach of the RIAA took is that it was based on legislation that created special property rights. Suddenly, you had a private entity that's able to issue subpoenas, which is unprecedented." He goes on to criticize the industries abuse of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and implicitly critiquing the law itself, adding "that's not what the DMCA was intended to do. We can't be writing legislation that gives holders of certain types of intellectual property special rights... We can't carve out special legislation to give special powers to certain types of content."
